PVP Group has acquired a 51% stake in Software Solution Integrated (SSI) from the promoters, led by Kalpathi Suresh, for Rs. 613.14 crores. The stake sale would be followed by a mandatory public offer which is said to cost the PVP Group an additional Rs. 239.20 crores for 120 acres of prime land bank in Chennai and Ooty.

SSI was started more than 13 years ago as a software training company, which ventured further into software development and later into real estate. The SSI shareholders now have an option to exit when the acquirers make public offer to them at Rs. 208 a share.
